Kinlaw v. State

Summary

The Supreme Court of Georgia affirmed Kinlaw’s convictions and sentences, holding that the evidence supported his aggravated-stalking conviction and that the trial court did not err in refusing an interpreter, excluding evidence of an alleged threat, or declining to give justification and voluntary-manslaughter instructions. The court also held that Kinlaw’s challenges to the remedy for the State’s Batson violations were not preserved because he did not object and affirmatively accepted the jury’s composition.
